It was so heavy. I weighed it w/out water & it was 3.5 lbs! The next day I ironed with my travel iron & was very happy. The travel iron did not leak - one fill-up ironed a 50"x 84" curtain.

I use a travel iron for pressing my seams. Its a Black & Decker and it has to be at least 15 years old. I found it in the closet about a year ago so it didn't have many hours on it. The heat is fantastic and it does a great job. I dread the day it goes out on me. I do need a bigger, better iron for pressing seams once I get past the quilt blocks.
